I love that you're drawn to the quiet in these subjects. There's something about horses where if you get the light right on their coat, the texture does so much of the emotional work, same with how early morning hits trees. I shoot still lifes mostly, vintage objects under warm bulbs, but I think we're both after that same thing where the subject holds the feeling without you having to force it. Really glad you're here.
Welcome, Ivi!
You're drawn to the tension between strength and calm in nature, and that's the kind of restraint that separates quiet work from just quiet. That's the angle worth exploring here.

Strength and calm in the same frame is honestly the whole chase. 🐴 What pulled you toward horses specifically as the subject?
Thank you very much! I have always loved horses and I spend a lot of time with them. This is my favourite subject to paint
